I'm now into my fifth year of writing for @neunion.bsky.social's Educate magazine. It's something I enjoy doing and I'm delighted to have had over 30 articles published about the importance of reading. Hopefully, they've been useful.

I am impressed with how this report has been presented. It clearly highlights the critical role of spoken language in learning, wellbeing, and life chances. Now to roll our sleeves up and bring on the action. Making oracy a priority in every classroom.
